Which gadgets deserve a comeback? 11:04am on 26 Nov 2009 I would like to see cruder versions of the computer return. Now we are in such a mess with the ever-changing formats in technology and
faults occur with no apparent reasons.
What's coming up on The One Show.....? 12:25pm on 14 Nov 2009 Toyah's husband, Robert Fripp, was of course responsible for King Crimson. One of their tracks was featured on The Children of Men, but their most famous piece is Twenty-first Century Schizoid Man.

Another founder member of Crimson, Pete Seger, wrote Land of Make Believe for Bucks Fizz.
What's coming up on The One Show.....? 12:22pm on 14 Nov 2009 This has not been updated for several days, so what is to come has been. I write about November 13th.

Songs are often written so people can put their own interpretations on them; the theory being mass appeal. I thought Ride A White Swan was
about casting a spell. My first two records was Arnold Lane by Pink Floyd and The Birds and The Bees by The Warm Sounds. My third was I Can Fly by The Herd. Soon came Bee Gees penned songs like The House of Lords by The Monopoly, not to mention the Gibbs performing New York Mining Disaster 1941.
Changes to the blog sign-in 11:07am on 13 Nov 2009 So far, so good. I was afraid the new format included that home page of a few weeks ago. That kept me in a loop and I could not enter one show blogs.
Which gadgets deserve a comeback? 2:23pm on 11 Nov 2009 I would like the return of the Dansette. The concept of stereo sounded exciting, but now it just has a drumbeat dominating everything.

That's the way the youth like it, but a mono record player would settle their hash.
Which gadgets deserve a comeback? 10:52am on 11 Nov 2009 How about compassion, tolerance and humility? They are about due for a comeback.
How about the concept of give and take? That is well due for a comeback?
The 100th birthday blog of wisdom! 3:53pm on 10 Nov 2009 People spout fascinating facts,
To demand unreasonable acts,
From their friends unrealistic expectations,
To restrict and for domination;
Everyone has a favourite one-liner,
To make conversation minor;
Criticise for insecurity,
So a constant friend one will be.
The dominant force imposes his will,
Gets his own way, everyone gets ill;
Then of course comes down the shutters,
This and that friend are the nutters

It is common for people to fall out,
Natural wastage is what it’s all about;
Some folks lie or try to cover,
Maybe crawl around, gang up on another;
Most reach a zenith of out of control,
Turning on others as a whole;
When they do they take the piss:
“You won’t have friends acting like this.”
The 100th birthday blog of wisdom! 3:46pm on 10 Nov 2009 Experience brings little wisdom without perception.
Cliches are just from popular culture and are as true as they are false.
Let the evidence fit the facts. Middle-aged cliches requires people to select from aready made list of fascinating facts which do not really fit situations, because they cannot absorb things properly.
Most rows are contrived to dodge issues.
The creative memory hears what is not said and takes offence.
The 100th birthday blog of wisdom! 3:42pm on 10 Nov 2009 It is said that people always see themselves differently to the way other people see them, but what about highly intelligent people? Aren't sweeping generalisations used to sabotage conversation? It is strange that those who say that keep boasting about themselves.

A Christian who moralised was seen as a bully and rightly so, because he was taking advantage in every way and becoming abusive and slanderous if people objected. He never listened but accused people of crazy talk.

Broaden your outlook and deepen your understanding.
The 100th birthday blog of wisdom! 3:37pm on 10 Nov 2009 I do not understand people who will not listen when you tell them something and get lippy instead. Later on they ask what causes trouble. You give up, you have tried to tell them a million times.
